WESTERN RODEO ACTS

TO BE AT THE FAIR 

One of the chief free attractions at the Bi-County Fair next month is “California Frank” Hafley, the greatest promoter of round-ups and rodeos, with the greatest aggregation of prizewinning plainsmen and frontier women ever assembled in America, outside of the annual rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming each July.

This will be the greatest show of its kind ever shown at a County fair, with dozens of cowboys and cowgirls, with the finest lot of western horses and cattle ever shipped from the plains of Montana and Texas. All kinds of western stunts will be performed such as fancy roping, fancy riding, calf and steer riding, broncho busting, fancy shooting, and a great exhibition of the finest trained horses in the world.
